Not
so says Perry A~, author of Calcium
Bentonite Clay, Nature's Pathway to Healing. Clay cleanses are very gentle yet extremely effective at
the same time. You can take clay on an empty stomach and you
will NOT experience nausea, runs to the bathroom or adverse
effects. Contrary to old beliefs about cleanses, you will
find a clay cleanse so gentle you are not immediately aware of
the advantages beyond a mere cleanse. Ideally, to dislodge the
buildup of fecal matter in the lower colon take clay internally
two to three times a day for two to three weeks. 2-3 ounces of
liquid clay mixed at a ratio of 1 part of dry powder clay to 8
parts of water. For example; mix 1/4 cup of clay to 2 cups of
water in a glass or plastic container and shake well. From this
liquid mix drink 2-3 ounces 3 times a day for 21 days. Be sure
and drink lots of water to flush out the toxins.

After
a cleanse, the body will be able to more readily absorb the good
nutrition from your supplements and the food you eat. Your skin
tone and complexion will take on a healthy glow and most people
report an increase in energy and less belching, flatulence and
acidity problems. If you follow that with a colonic cleanse, you
will be amazed at the release and how you will begin to feel.

In
selecting a clay for internal cleanse use look for:

A
natural calcium Bentonite clay, pure and free of
contaminants.

A
pH of 8.5 or above.

A
mineral analysis sheet.

A
Quality Control Lab report showing the clay falls within the
safety guidelines.

A
Montmorillonite/Calcium Bentonite, from the
Smectite family of clays.
